Missions Trip to East Huicholes - April 2019

Several of our experienced Summer Missionary youth are interested in serving as career missionaries.  This year we coordinated a missions trip for them west of Guadalajara with the East Huichol ethnic group.  Fernando Amezcua led the trip as president of our missions agency FAMEX.  The only downside was that the dates coincided with our trip to Zoquiapan--so we were not able to join them!

The team included 13 from our Summer Missionary ministry (mostly in back row), plus some from Fernando's church in Guadalajara about 4 hours away.

Our Summer Missionaries sit in the front of the church service.

The week was primarily an exposure trip with a relational focus, but they did plan specific activities for the children.

The Huichol dress is very formal and colorful.

The women usually wear long colorful skirts.

The Huicholes are known for the artisan work including these woven beads.

Our youth love to work with children.

The Huichol children also like to laugh and have fun.
